The Lakeside 3

Architect: AMA Architects

Centurion, Johannesburg

The Lakeside Meerlus building on the north bank of Centurion Lake in Pretoria obtained a four-star Green Star office v1 design rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA). The first of three buildings to be developed in the Lakeside Office Park, the renovated building encloses its core space through a new glazed atrium from which there are attractive views over Centurion Lake. Sustainable features include energy efficient air conditioning and lighting, heat pumps, water saving fixtures, a recycling waste storage facility, low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and adhesives, and cyclist facilities.
